S.B. No. 1085 amends the Education Code to update the description of Sul Ross State University and its Rio Grande College. The bill removes the term "upper-level" from the description of the educational center, indicating a shift in the focus or scope of the courses offered at the institution. This change reflects a broader approach to the educational offerings at Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College, which operates in the cities of Del Rio, Eagle Pass, and Uvalde.

The bill specifies that the changes will take effect on September 1, 2025, and will apply starting January 1, 2028. This timeline allows for a transition period for the university to implement the new course levels and adjust its educational framework accordingly. The bill has passed through the Senate committee with unanimous support, indicating strong legislative backing for the proposed changes.
